Al-Mustamsik (died 1176)

al-Mustamsik (died 1176) was the Saracen ruler of Baniyas at the time of the Crusades. In 1176, Gerard de Ridefort laid siege to Baniyas with a large crusader army from the Kingdom of Jerusalem, and al-Mustamsik took part in the bloody fighting with the crusaders. He was killed by a Jerusalemite knight in the melee.
